A/N: There's a HUGE storm outside my house which led me to listen to the song which gave me a great idea, but it also knocked out my power so I don't know how far I gonna get. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Fearless
Taylor Swift
February 8, 2008
My friends say you're so into me
And that you need me desperately
They say you say we're so complete
But I need to hear it straight from you
If you want me to believe it's true
I've been waiting for so long it hurts
I wanna hear you say the words, please
chorus
Don't, don't let me be the last to know
Don't hold back, just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
Oh, if you love me so
Don't let me be the last to know
Your body language says so much
Yeah, I feel it in the way you touch
But til' you say the words it's not enough
C'mon and tell me you're in love, please
Repeat chorus
C'mon baby, c'mon darling, ooh yeah
C'mon, let me be the one
C'mon now, oh yeah
I need to hear you say
You love me all the way
And I don't wanna wait another day
I wanna feel the way you feel
Oh, c'mon
Don't, just let me be the one
Don't hold back, just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
So…baby, if you love me
Don't let me be the last to know
Joe was teaching me to play the guitar to one of my songs. Everyone is saying that I'm picking it up fast. "That was so good. Soon you're not even going to need me to teach you." Joe said getting up from the floor then turned and held his hand out to help me up. When I accepted his hand I felt something it had never felt before. It was like shivers took my hold body and left my heart for last. I think he felt it too. When I finally got up we were so close hardly an inch separated our lips, I've never wanted to kiss some as much as I did right then, but that feeling I just got made it even more apparent. I couldn't't be with Joe. "What are you doing after the concert on Valentine's Day?" Joe asked me running his right hand through his long, black hair and resting it on his neck. Driving me absolutely crazy.
"Well, I'm singing at this small, little concert with this one band. I'm not sue if you've heard of them, their the Johnson, no Jones, wait the Jonas Brothers. Then I plan to learn the guitar with the hottest guitar player in the band." I said going into the kitchen on the bus and started fixing me and Joe something to eat since everyone else had already eaten. Joe sat in to booth waiting on his food.
"That Joe guy. Yeah, I heard he was really cute, had all the fans wanting his hot bod." Joe said with a confident smirk.
"No, his older brother Kevin." I said looking at Joe's reaction in the mirror. His mouth hung open wide enough a science textbook could fit in it. "I'm joking Joe. I have no idea what I'm doing for Valentine's Day. Why?" I said placing our plates in front of us. "I know we have a concert in Texas, but maybe after that we could go out to dinner. Just you and me."
"Like a date?" I asked. I haven't been on a date in so long, my mom says boys distract you from achieving your goals.
"Yeah, we could go out to eat and then come back here and watch any movie you like. Then maybe you could stay the night on our bus instead making our bus drivers stop the buses at deserted truck stops at three in the morning." Joe said digging into his food.
"Yeah, I'll go out to dinner with you on Valentine's Day. What made you ask anyway?"
"That song you just sang. I figured it was time for me to tell you that I like you. I know that you didn't write that song for me, but it seems like it fit our situation perfectly. And now maybe we can take this thing we have to the next the next level." Joe said moving into the booth I was sitting in. Leaving me trapped between him and the window.
"Joe I can't. Not yet." I said looking down, too embarrassed to look him in the eyes. I don't know why I usually would have kissed a guy by now. Bit there's something about Joe. I like him so much it actually scares me and I don't want to get too close.
"Kai, I like you a lot. Why won't you let me kiss you?" Joe said lifting my chin with his finger.
"Just give me some time." I said trying to avoid his eyes, knowing that if I looked in them I would cave and a heavy make out session would follow.
February 14, 2008
"Did you get him something?" Marie said as I was putting on my favorite black satin babydoll dress with large bow at the bust and my red flats for my date with Joe. The whole concert I was thinking about if this was a good idea or not.
"Of course. Here," I said looking in my oversized red purse for the envelope with the tickets in them.
"Good idea the boys love basketball"
"I know, I had no idea what to get him, so I asked Miss Denise and she told me I should get tickets to go to see the Bulls play Miami on the 18th in Chicago." I said putting the finishing touches on my make up.
"You know there's suppose to rain tonight? But there's only a 24 chance. Hopefully you'll get in before then." Marie said as the door opened.
"Hey, umm are you ready?" Joe said with his eyes covered.
"Yeah, bye Marie," I said giving her a hug, and walking to Joe in the hallway.
"Wow, you look…wow." Joe said tongue tied.
"That wasn't a lie. He was dressed in black skinny jeans, a blue tee shirt with Future Mr. Alba written in black, a black jacket, and black and blue sneakers. "I love the shirt by the way. Very direct." Kaila said with a smirk on her face.
"Well, what can I say, I don' t like to beat around the bush..." Joe said trailing off leading Kaila outside.
After dinner
"Do they need to follow us all the time?" Joe asked holding an umbrella over our heads. We had just let the restaurant and were outside his bus.
"I don't think the paparazzi were after me. It was all you, Mr. Jonas. No one even knows me…yet." I said holding the teddy bear he bought me close to my chest. As I was opening the door to the bus he grabbed my hand.
"Let's stay out here for a second."
"Joseph it's freezing out here and if you haven't noticed it's kind of raining." That was the understatement of the year. I was actually surprised that he could keep the umbrella this long. "Plus my hair is gonna …"I trailed off as Joe's warm lips connected with mine.
This was by far the best kiss I've had of my entire life. Obviously Joe felt the same way as he let the umbrella fall from his hand and placed his hands on my hips pulling me closer to him. I completely forgot about Teddy as he fell and my arms wrapped around Joe's neck my hands instantly running through his hair. A minute later Joe broke away, "Sorry I didn't mean to get your hair wet. You still want to go inside?" Joe said with a smirk, already knowing the answer to the question.
"Does this answer your question?" I said as I let lips touch his.
"Kai, will you be my girlfriend?" Joe asked and for a moment I saw fear in his eyes. But fear of what exactly? Goodness I wanted to say yes, but my mom would make me break up with him in the end. God, tell me what to do. So I said the only thing I could think of.
"Joe don't ruin the moment." And resumed kissing him trying to ignore the feeling that I had broken his and my own heart at the same time.
When we finally got back on the bus
"Joe are you okay?" I said looking at the drenched Jonas.
"Yeah, I'm fine let's go in the back and get you some sweats to put on." Joe said brushing past me. Guilt flowed over my body as I followed Joe to the rec room.
Joe held the door open for me and I gasped. The room was lit with light pink candles and powder pink rose pedals, but one thing really caught my eyes. A pink Gibson acoustic guitar with white flower detail and my name on the neck. I ran over to it and lightly ran my fingers against the instrument. I turned to look at Joe, I began to walk over before he raised his hand and lightly whispered, "Don't ruin the moment." Before getting some of his old sweats and tossing them to me. "You can change in the bathroom. Knock before you come back in." He said almost coldly, so I obeyed his orders. When I returned he asked what movie I wanted to watch.
"We can start with Good Luck Chuck?" I asked more than stated hoping that his love for Jessica Alba would save me, until I heard a muffled whatever. As Joe plopped down on the opposite side of the couch. I took the initiative to scoot closer to him. "Joseph."
"What?" he said harshly trying not to look at me even though I knew he wanted to. I needed him to look.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so rude. I'm just kind of scared. Everything is happening so fast. But you need to know I really do like you, so much." A said close to tears with my southern accent shining through. And then he did it. He looked at me and pulled me close so my head was resting on his shoulder and laid his head on mine.
"Don't be scared. I won't hurt you." Joe muffled into my hair.
"You promise." I said looking up at him.
"I promise. Now let me watch my ex-wife. I can't believe she cheated on me with that Cash Warren dude. What kind of name is Cash? And aren't I cuter?" Joe said whining.
"So, much cuter." I said placing a quick peck on his cheek.
The next morning
At some point during out movie marathon me and Joe fell asleep on the floor, which probably wasn't the best idea seeing as we had a concert tonight. I tried to wiggle from under Joe's arm without waking him. After I succeeded I walk into the kitchen where Miss Denise, Mr. Paul, and the rest of the Jo Bro's were eating breakfast. "Morning all!" I said skipping over to where the chocolate chip waffles were located.
"Morning Kaila. You look happy. Did Joe pop the question last night?" Miss Denise asked me with a smile across her face.
"Wait, you knew?" I said almost choking on the waffle in my mouth.
"Of course Sweetie. I'm his mother, he tells me everything."
"Hold up, Joe proposed to you. As in marriage?" Nick said trying to grasp the situation.
"Goodness no, Nick. I'm only 17." Said going into the fridge to get apple juice.
"Well that's what it sounded like to us." Mr. Paul said looking at me then his wife.
"Kaila will you play webkinz with me today?" Frankie said completely out of nowhere.
"Of course. How about after I write this song that's in my head I come find you and we'll play." I said kneeling down to his level.
"Enough with the changing of the question. Did he ask you and did you say yes?"
"Yes and no." Said a sleepy voice from behind me. I turned to see Joe with his hands wrapped in his shirt. "Can someone turn the heat up on this bus?" Joe said as he walked over to the waffles before placing a kiss on the top of my head. "Morning Family." No response. " What's up with you guys?"
After breakfast at sound check
"Kevin, can you help me write this song? I have a feel but I'm no good with figuring out chords." I really wanted to finish this song and play it for Joe before the day was up.
"Yeah, do you know how you want it to sound?" Kevin said grabbing his acoustic and sitting on the couch across from me. "Do you have any lyrics in mind?"
"I kind of want a country feel to it. Lyric wise I only have a few lines
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
Then,
You pull me in & I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss really somethin' it's fearless,
And the chorus
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
That's really all I have right now, but usually after I have a rhythm the words just flow."
Later
"hey Garbo can I steal Joe from you for a second?"
"Yeah, but I need him back before the concert. Have fun you lovebirds." Garbo said skipping away.
"I'm sorry if your mad at me for asking my mom before…" Joe said before I cut him off.
"I'm not mad at you. Why would you think that?" I said utterly confused.
"Well you have been avoiding me today." Joe said crossing his arms over his chest.
"No I haven't. this morning I told Frankie that I would play with him, then before my sound check I asked Kevin to help me write a song for you, Crazy."
"Oh, well are you going to play it for me?" I nodded and grabbed the my guitar and started strumming the first notes.
"There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah"
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you"
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why when with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless"
So baby drive slow
'Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger's seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture every memory"
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless"
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
my hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in & I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss it's flawless really somethin' it's fearless."
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless"
"So what did you think?" I said extremely nervous to his reaction.
"Kaila Nereida Morales will you be my girlfriend… again?"
